    As you say, it's in the Ts and Cs, just the same as with many utilities and ISPs.

    If you know you are going to be short of funds in future, call them first and get an extension.

    You not having funds available has caused them admin expenses which they have rightly charged you for, I think most companies (not only energy) would do the same.
